Personally I'm waiting for the new model. The current one has a 480pixel
high screen. This is not enough to be comfortable with pretty much any
OS config other then that included.

Even distros like xubuntu (optimized for less powerful hardware) have
issues with dialogs popping up that aren't resizable and have buttons
that are off screen. Windows has the same problem.

As a trial, you could try forcing your video card into 640x480 mode and
see if it's a problem for you.
